02/17- SC ❤ Nikki


Our Democratic and Haley interns collided again at the Nikki Haley event in Irma. We all had the opportunity to take a picture of her and ended up on her Instagram as well. We got merch and posters and even met her son.





Her son, Nalin, was very kind and gave us insight into what it has been like following his mom on this bus tour. We all got a picture with him and even got this Villanova student to hold up a "Go Bulls" sign.

                                                        Some of us were REALLY excited to meet Nalin.

 Today the class went to Lizard's Thicket, a local spot known for being a prominent campaign spot, and had breakfast while watching a newscast with Ainsley Earhardt. Shortly, we went to the market being held in front of the capitol building and got to see all the local businesses displaying their products and even tried some food and drinks. Seeing a city come together and uplift local businesses and promote community engagement was heartwarming and I had a great time walking around.  Sasha DEVOURING some BBQ chicken! We also got to visit the University of South Carolina and walk around the campus. The buildings and layout was gorgeous and felt very welcoming. I enjoyed seeing people on the green having picnics or reading books. I am sad this trip is coming to an end as I have made so many great memories and built new friendships as well.

Average day but with a pit stop meeting Vivek Ramaswamy

 Today we went to the GOP SC Headquarters and talked to directors there. We all got a tote bag and a pretty cool book. Afterward, we all tried Cookout and the prices were so low it was unbelievable the food was also delicious. I got a double cheeseburger with cheese curds, fries, and a peanut butter milkshake. Following our lunch break we went to the SCDP and had guest speaker Carol Fowler.  The class learned that ex-candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was holding a podcast at a brewery and we ran into Trump fans and they were very kind.  Here is Vivek! He definitely discussed things from a unique perspective but overall it was a good time as I got tacos after he finished his discussion.
